2005 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4WD 2dr Convertible SUV (4.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

My first piece of advice is to take
the Wrangler on a THOROUGH test drive
if it is going to be your daily
driver. It has very unique handling
characteristics, so you need to know
you'll be comfortable driving it in on
the highway, in-town, etc. That being
said, this Jeep is a versatile ride,
offering room for two other people, or
one other person and your dog. I
chose the hard top and have been
pleased with the isolation it offers
from the elements and noise.
Convertible in the summer, go anywhere
in winter, and the Jeep is amazingly
capable off-road. I've had it to a
couple of Jamborees. If you buy one,
you owe it to yourself to let the
Wrangler show you what it can do on
the trails.

Favorite Features

The seating position is excellent. The
7-speaker sound system is better than
I expected. Easy to pilot through
traffic and parking lots with
communicative steering and a tight
turning radius.

Suggested Improvements

I take the rear seat out frequently to
give my dog some room, and the process
is unacceptably awkward. Although i
think the seating position is just
right, I can never seem to get my
backside comfortable. The lack of
lumbar support is sad.
